The Semperoper in Dresden is considered one of the most beautiful opera houses in the world. Numerous world premieres have made opera history here since the 19th century. Dresden’s magnificent building has been destroyed and rebuilt several times and offers opera, ballet and concerts of the highest standard. The high-calibre ensembles based in the building contribute significantly to this.
This high standard of perfection also applies to information technology used at the Dresden State Opera and State Theatre. Transcribing the existing audio archives, consisting of interviews, presentations and meetings, would have been too expensive and time-consuming without an extremely powerful IT solution. With Voice Pro Transcription from Linguatec, this Herculean task was accomplished quickly and cost-effectively. The audio recordings are now also available as text and can be used for further analysis (e.g. precise searches or automatic generation of summaries).
